WAUKEGAN, Ill. (STMW) -- A teenage boy has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly shooting a man during a fight at a party in north suburban Waukegan earlier this week.
Officers were called early Monday to the 1700 block of Hickory Street, where four people had gotten into a fight during a party, according to a statement released Thursday night from Waukegan Police Chief Wayne Walles.
A teenage boy had fired multiple shots at a man, causing a "superficial injury" that did not require treatment, the release said.
